1/10 — Miserable. Brutally hot, oppressive, and not a day to spend outside.

This is heat that overrides everything else — 39°C on the thermometer with a feels-like of nearly 41°C, and temperatures like this cap the score no matter how dry or storm-free the air is. Expect a scorching climb through the morning into a punishing midday and afternoon, with an isolated storm or two possible as convection fires off the higher ground later in the day. There’s essentially no relief until well after sunset, when things ease only into the mid-30s.

And tomorrow… Tomorrow scores 2/10, still Miserable — highs should ease only slightly to around 38°C (feels-like near 39°C), with the air turning properly humid and another isolated storm chance in the mix. No real relief in sight, so treat this as a two-day stretch to minimise time outdoors.

Tl;dr: Genuinely dangerous heat — stay indoors, hydrated, and in the shade or air conditioning through the afternoon.

Today’s BaZi

The day carries the Water Rat pillar, which just adds a cool, fluid undercurrent to what is otherwise a scorcher of a day for everyone else.

C: Outlook: bright with a good appetite for making things. Early on, a cooperative front moves in — old allies and familiar company align easily, and the conditions favour building or creating rather than pushing an agenda. Later, a stubborn knot of old obligations circles back and tangles with a lingering commitment, so don’t expect total smooth sailing. On balance it’s a favourable day — let things come together rather than forcing them.

D: Outlook: gusty with a useful tailwind buried in the turbulence. A long-building alliance of resources finally starts pulling together in your favour, which rewards steady, practical effort on things you already own or manage. But a sharp disruptive gust blows through later, unsettling plans and prompting sudden movement, so don’t bank on a calm afternoon. Given the mixed, blustery picture, this is a better day for quiet, focused maintenance and admin — tending what’s already on your plate — than for meetings, networking, or launching anything new.
